What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Engerix™-BBiological

    Also called Hepatitis B vaccine

    One dose (10µg Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg))

Study groups in NCT00524576
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Engerix 2 Doses + Challenge DoseExperimentalSubjects received 2 doses of Engerix™-B (Month 0 and 6) in the primary study and a single dose of Engerix™-B during the booster study.
Receives: Biological: Engerix™-B
Engerix 3 Doses + Challenge DoseExperimentalSubjects received 3 doses of Engerix™-B (Month 0, 1 and 6) in the primary study and a single dose of Engerix™-B during the booster study.
Receives: Biological: Engerix™-B

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Immunological Response to Challenge Dose in Terms of Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration

    Immune response defined as:

    • For initially seronegative subjects (anti-HBs antibody concentration <3.3 milli-international unit per milliliter [mIU/mL] before vaccination) antibody concentration ≥ 10mIU/mL at post booster.
    • For initially seropositive subjects: antibody concentration at post booster ≥ 4-fold the pre-vaccination antibody concentration.

    Measured: 30 days post-challenge dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value

    Anti-HBs antibody cut-off values assessed include 3.3, 10 and 100 mIU/mL.

    Measured: 30 days post-challenge dose

  2. Concentration of Anti-HBs Antibodies

    Concentrations given as geometric mean concentration (GMC) and expressed in mIU/mL.

    Measured: 30 days post-challenge dose

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Local Symptoms

    Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling.

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period (Day 0-3) after the challenge dose

  4. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited General Symptoms

    Solicited general symptoms assessed include fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and headache.

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period (Day 0-3) after the challenge dose

  5. Number of Participants Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AE)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    Measured: During the 31-day follow-up period (Day 0-30) after the challenge dose

  6. Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: During the 31-day follow-up period (Day 0-30) after the challenge dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Engerix™-B in people with Hepatitis B, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Belgium, Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jul 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Immunological Response to Challenge Dose in Terms of Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration (time frame: 30 days post-challenge dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00524576, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2018.
